The Missouri Tigers (2-2 overall in 2012) will hit the road for a second-straight week when they visit Orlando, Fla. - the home of Walt Disney World  for a Saturday contest against the Central Florida Knights (2-1). Kickoff for the game is set for 11 a.m. central/12 p.m. eastern time, and it will be televised live by FOX Sports Net.


Mizzou won't have time to hit the amusement park, of course, as they're dialing in for a tough opponent on Saturday who will be sky high about hosting an SEC team for the first time in program history.

The Tigers are also focused on correcting mistakes which led to a 31-10 loss last Saturday at 7th-ranked South Carolina.

Central Florida is coming off a bye-week which followed a 33-20 home win on Sept. 15th over Florida International. In that game, the Knights held a 23-0 halftime lead and cruised from there.

The week prior, UCF played at 14th-ranked Ohio State, and stood tied with Buckeyes at 10-10 in the 2nd quarter, before OSU pulled away with 21 straight points on the way to a 31-16 win.

 The Knights opened their 2012 season with a 56-14 road win at Akron, thanks to a 28-point 2nd quarter and 4 forced turnovers.
